Great goal to have, and Pogue is definitely one of them to add if you're looking for catalogs of legendary collections. I haven't received one,...
These cracks are considered minor and are not the determining feature of any given VAM for 1887. The VAM number will probably be determined by...
“Interestingly, United States Mint personnel also believe that more half dollars have been redeemed by China-sourced vendors in the last 10 years...
I've had some coins come back cleaned and when I get them back I wonder how I could have missed it. I can't say I see the cleaned bit on your...
64 because of the field hits. 81-S are typically very flashy and well struck. If you want to buy a single MS67 Morgan dollar, 81-S gives you the...
Yuck. Not even a good counterfeit. Return it ASAP.

Well, since you didn't realize you had the wrong change until you got home, it sort of sounds like you flummoxed yourself, too. :)
It wasn't all the green-label holders, either. Only those from the early 90s and before (more or less) are considered to be the good ones.
I would get anything that might grade 64 or higher or would get a PL or DMPL designation graded. Scratches on the case won't affect the grade....
I just finished a 50-coin set this year at FUN. There are some really neat coins in that series, and some of the best artwork you'll see on US...
Exactly.
Thinking outside the box here. How about as you line up the three coins from biggest to smallest, you get a complete Saturn V rocket on the...
To narrow it down a little, the reverse is a D1 reverse (17 berries on wreath). As has been said, the cracks alone won't be the main diagnostics...
Separate names with a comma.
